MyWay.MyWebSearch
Hi everyone,
I got infected with MyWebSearch and cannot eliminate it using Spybot Search & Destroy.
I run Spybot Search & Destroy and it finds a MyWay.MyWebSearch entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. It seems it deletes the entry, but, when I reboot, I run Spybot Search & Destroy again and that MyWay.MyWebSearch entry is still there!!
I've tried to delete this MyWay.MyWebSearch entry using Spybot Search & Destroy, at least four times, but it is still there everytime I run Spybot Search & Destroy.
I also tried to delete the entry manually. It desappeas, but it's back again when I reboot!
I have used other tools, such as SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes, but they don't find anything. It's just that entry that Spybot Search & Destroy finds.
Please, I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Amanda,
Sorry, I forgot to mention, Windows Vista. Any special recommendations to get rid of this??
Thanks a lot,

Hello,
Did you open Spybot with a right click and choose "run as administrator/take ownership"?

Hi again Sandra,
I called you Amanda in my previous email. Sorry about that.
Yes, I opened it all the time as an administrator. I did not do it the first time. Then, I realized I had to run Spybot S&D as an administrator. So, I did that at least three more times, as well as rebooting after scanning.
It makes no difference the way you run it, I keep getting MyWay.MyWebSearch entry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
Thank you so much.
